The Use of Salt.

Thirty years. successful use of salt
upon all kinds of crops has proved its
value. 1t should not be used on
cold. heavy or moist soils, and, if any
one does, he will be disappointed IN
the result. as its tendency is to keep
the ground cool and moist, 1t should
not be cast upon very young or ten
der plants of any kind, as it will be
very sure to kill them. had friend
who heard me recommend salt on
onion beds, when [ strictly urged
that it should be dragged or worked
in before the seed was sown but,
forgetting what 1 said, he did not
salt until the onions were about two
inches high, and it killed them all ;
but sowing another crop properly, it
turned out splendidly. Had he
waited until the tops were as big as a
large pipe stem, he might have GOV.
cred the ground an inch deep, and
his onions would have done finely.
Salt is not much of a fertilizer in
itself, though plants take it up, as
you can tell by tasting and by the
stiffening and glazing of staw of a
plant grown in saited ground. l
think it acts upon and assimilates
the gross matter in the soil, so as to
make it available food. 1t should be

An immense mass meeting of work
ingmen was held in Baltimore Mon
day night to discuss the charges
brought by the knights of Labor
against Mr.. Jackson, Democratic
candidate for Governor. A number
of addresses were delivered, all re-
iterating the charges and denouncing
Mr.. Jackson as an enemy to organ
lied labor. The manner in which the
addresses were received showed that
those present intend to use every fair
effort to defeat Mr.. Jackson.

National Soldiers, Home.

The Los Angeles Board of Trade is
proving its superior alertness by try
ing to get the National Soldiers Home,
for which Congress made an appro-
priation, located near that city. Los
Angeles has enlisted the support of
General Miles, who now has his head
quarters there, and of some of the
other army officers, but the choice of
a site will be made by a board of
officers who will come out from Wash
ington for that purpose during the
month of September. Other towns
have as good chance to secure the
Home as Los Angeles has, if they are
ready to offer equal inducements.
Six hundred acres of good land will be
needed for the Home, and it must be
convenient to railroad. There has
been talk in Los Angeles about max
ing the Government present of the
whole six hundred acres which will
be needed, from which it will be seen
that the people down there mean busi-
ness. 1t would be quite like their
enterprise to do this, and the parties
making the gift would probably be
smart enough to turn it to a business
advantage, by making the location of
the Home the occasion for laying off a
new town site and selling several
hundred lots at prices which would
reimburse them for their apparent
generosity. This could be done very
easily, as National Soldiers Home
on this coast will be large and inn
portant establishment. A good many
thousand veterans have come to
California since the war, and more
will come, the climate here being a
great attraction to them, and in pro-
cess of time the Home will come to be
inhabited by fifteen hundred or two
thousand persons, which would be
first-class nucleus for town. The
extensive grounds around the Home
would, according to custom, be laid
out in gardens and lawns, making a
beautiful resort for visitors and would
increase the attractions OF the neigh
borhood as a place for rural homes.

Stalking His Claim.


A slim young man was perched on
a stool in one of the large restaurants
near the Tribune building devouring a
strawberry dumping. The capacity
of the restaurant was not sufficient for
the rush of customers, and behind the
fortunate possessors of stools formed
another line of hungry candidates
glaring over the shoulders of the eat
ers and watching each mouthful dis
appear. Behind the slim young man,
however, four hungry eyes watched
the vanishing fragments of the straw
berry dumping. There were two
contestants for one seat-a cor
pulent old parson in spectacles
and tall man with silk hat.
The slim young man, completing his
lunch, climbed down from his perch,
and the corpulent watcher, with great
activity, began to climb up.
"Hold on" said the other candi-
date gruffiy.
"What for?"
Because, sir, have right to that
seat. was here, sir, when that
young man began to eat his dumping.
fernapS, auueu tne taii HAL, scorn-
fully, "you think that l have been
standing here just to count how many
mouthfuls there are in strawberry
dumpling."
The elderly man laid his hand on
the stool and said with the confident
air of one who holds four aces: 81 am
very sorry, sir, bnt you really have no
claim at all. l was here when this
young man was unable to decide
whether he wanted strawberry dump
ling or custard pie"
And then the corpulent old man,
having "seen" the tall man and gone
him one better, climbed upon the
stool, and his rival moved sadly along
to stake out another claim on man
who had just ordered fish balls with
tomato sauce.
